New Vision
In the spring of 2010, the Jacksonville Landing was the object of a workshop during the American Planning Association’s yearly conference. Participants were challenged to reinvent the facility without constraints. Ideas were shared with the property managers and owner Sleiman, who was impressed with their vision. Suggestions included slicing a wedge from the landing to open up access from Laura Street, closing the western ramp to the Main Street Bridge and rerouting Laura Street through a roundabout, and adding a marina and other buildings, such as a hotel.
